I have a problem in exporting data from Microsoft Access. I have an Access file made of several rows and columns, like this:
Every row contains a subset of data, that could be observed by clicking on the "+" button:
I would like to export all these data (main table & subsets), but there's a problem.
When I click on External Data -> Export -> Text file, Ms Access exports only the main table data (1st Figure), and completely omits the data of the subsets (2nd Figure).
How could I export all these data (main table & subsets)?
Thanks
Create a query denormalizing the data you want the way you want, then export that to Excel.

One really annoying thing about Access is that when using the import wizard to import a CSV file, if there is a column in the CSV that isn't a field in the table being imported into, it gives you an error and shuts down the import. It should provide an option to skip columns in the source file if it isn't in the already existing table. Yes, it does give the option to skip if creating a new table from the source file, but that isn't what I am doing. Is there a solution to this or a way to automate it? Does using the VBA Access import function permit this?
The reason I want to skip these columns is because they were calculated columns in Excel file submitted by client, file is converted to CSV for importing in to Access, and I can easily recalculate them with SQL in Access. No reason to have them in the table.
When running the import wizard, you can save the specifications by some name you choose.
Then use:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, SpecificationName, ... etc.
I want to export to Excel from MySQL DB. How can I filter the data before I export it to excel?
Before exporting I need to give some inputs to filter the data from DB that should be exported. How can I accomplish that?
In phpMyAdmin, open your table (assuming you just want data from this table) and use Search to indicate on what you want to filter. When you have the desired results on-screen, use the "Query results operations" panel to click on Export, then choose the CSV for MS Excel format.
I have data in excel sheet (CSV format) and I have imported this data into Mysql and filtered the data based on dates (only 2014 and 2015) years have been selected.
The client wants data back in excel. So, I have to import the data which I had extracted based on dates into excel. I believe this would be a temporary table. So, how do we import the temporary tables to excel.
I don't know how to use mysql to excel converter in this case, as the temporary table is being used.
Here is a software by MySQL to handle that

MySQL for Excel makes the task of getting MySQL data into Excel a very
easy one; there are no intermediate CSV files required, only a couple
of clicks and data will be imported to Excel. MySQL for Excel supports
importing data from tables, views and stored procedures.
The easiest way of doing this could be as follows
select <fieldnames>
from <temporary table>
Then copy and paste the results into excel. save as excel format, and voila!
Edit: if you are using a tool like phpMyamin, you can just export the results of your query into the desired format. If you want the headers, choose "include column names" in the advanced" export.
If you just need a document that opens in excel you could export the tables as a CSV file from mysql.

If you have to actually create an excel worksheet then you would have to use a library based on what programming language you are using to convert the data to an excel spreadsheet.
I have a sql database in which i want to export some tables in CSV format. Users and purchases.
By using phpmyadmin, > Export function i've successfully exported all data in table but there are no headers (column title) in the excel sheet and its very confusing to determine data retrieved from that table.
its look like this:
And i need it like this:
Any suggestion how to do this?
This works for me. What version of phpmyadmin do you have?
Under Browse, click on the table you want to export.
At the bottom, in the Query results operations section, click on Export.
In Export method, choose Custom.
Change Format to CSV for MS Excel.
Under Format-specific options, check Put columns names in the first row.
Click on the export button
Export method custom
Format CSV
Format-specific options: Put columns names in the first row ( Select this checkbox)

Every Time copied and Paste in Excel File.
Is there any Alternate way or Query that directly save the Data in my Excel File
Simplest way would be accessing database table by creating a data connection from excel. I assume you are using Sql server database.
In Excel go to the Data tab
Select relevant data source in the "From Other Sources" drop down
Select Sql server and give necessary conection information and select the table you wanted while navigating through.
Select "Table" as prefered view option and it will show the table in excel.
When a change happen in the database simply right click the excel table and Refresh it
